July 5, 20197 yr Popular Post comment_195135 Posted some of this in Monday topic and got another done today. These are the first two eggs. The top one I call Cracked Egg . It had cracks in it so I carved it and burned the carvings. The second was burned using a coiled wire to create the pattern. No finish on any as is pic time. This one I call Independence Egg. The blank is a glue up of 4 pieces of curly maple left over from the Clewes demos. Was not sure how this would look but after dye and acrylic applied turned out better than I thought. Report
July 5, 20197 yr comment_195144 Gerald, I am simply guessing here, but I suppose you used a skew chisel to make the basic egg shape. What I am trying to figure out is how did you part them off. Did you part off one end, put it into the chuck and do the remaining end? Do you have a video? That would be awesome to see. Thanks for sharing. I really do like the artwork as well. Report

Thanks for sharing. I really do like the artwork as well. Steve it is done between centers. I did not use a skew but you could. I used mostly spindle gouge. When you turn this you leave a small nib on the end when parting off so that there is no flat on the end and then sand and carve the nib off. Report
